As a Pennsylvanian I saw the writing on the wall leading up to the 2024 election. I grew up in a very conservative household, and my parents are still very pro-Trump. His reelection destroyed me, despite it seeming inevitable. How can a large chunk of this country not only not feel shame from this, but actively encourage and enjoy it?

Because your country is broken, and uncivilised
Stupidity is celebrated and worldliness and curiousity are viewed with fear and suspicion
Oh, and then there’s the hatred…
But what do your parents say to those kind of posts? I’m genuinely interested. It’s so bizarre to me.
my dad just sort of handwaves them away as “jokes” and aggressively refuses to engage any further than that
